Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that a receiver has been connected to the Processor Unit by means of a serial line, and that the communication line has been initiated. All the relevant communication parameters have been defined. The peripheral system is turned on, and it transmits data.
Procedure
|
1 |
Select the Setup icon to open the menu. |
|
2 |
On the Setup menu, select Installation.
Observe that the Installation dialog box opens.
|
|
3 |
Observe the I/O Setup page on the right hand side of the Installation dialog box. Every interface is presented as a small "block diagram".
|
|
4 |
On the relevant serial line communication, select the inspection point at the left side of the port icon in the “block diagram”.
The Port Monitor dialog box opens.
The Port Monitor dialog box allows you to study the communication stream on the chosen serial line port.
NoteThe Port Monitor dialog box is a tool for debugging purposes. It is neither required nor intended for normal operation of the TV80 system.

5 |
Make sure that each communication port is functional. Make sure that there is data traffic on the input port (shown in the Rx Data box).
In order to see this data traffic, the peripheral system must be turned on, and transmitting information to the TV80 system.
If you are unable to see any data traffic on the communication port, we suggest the following:
|
• |
Make sure that the peripheral system has been turned on. |
|
• |
Make sure that the peripheral system is in fact transmitting information. |
|
• |
Make sure that the cable has been properly connected. |
|
• |
Make sure that you have connected the peripheral system to the communication port that you are observing. |
|

Select OK to close the Port Monitor dialog box. |
